I was secretly easedropping and looking at someone elses essay in my politics class....

apparently all she did was summarize a Chapter for the final research essay :|
what the hey-oh?!?
The prof continually went on in fustration saying "you copied the chapters..."
she replies "no!!"
prof says "All you did was summarize one of the freakin chapters"
she said "I kno.. But i cited everything!"

:o
Is it me or is it the school that im so proud of going to have really low standards when it comes to accepting new students

what year you in?
you see a lot of that in 1st year.
then as you hit 2nd, most of them get filtered out.
3rd year, they're all either smartened up, on academic probation, or kicked out.

Yay.. Filtering!
I hope the work load and difficulty stays the same as First year. 1st year i can handle nicely, anymore will be pretty damnstressful to keep up :|

You know how they always say the first year is the hardest? Is that true?

first year is the hardest because in second year the dummies have dropped out so that puts the curve outta whack.

Your mark will be adjusted accordingly.

So if you are smart and your classmate is bunch of dumbass, your mark will likely go higher.

If your classmate is as bright as u, then no adjustment for u

Plus, the quality of your education really depends on what high school you go to. Alot of people graduate hs without ever learning how to write a research paper. I heard alot of profs complaining about that during my first year.

I found my third year the hardest academically. But only volume-wise, because all my courses required extensive essay-writing and lots of big research papers.

Bah, first year is hard because you aren't adjested as well. Once you do get adjusted it is the same bs, different day.

It is true in terms of adjusting to the workload and having a good idea of the study methods you use. But of course the work will just get harder in the years to come. I'm in my third year and I think first year was definately, by far, the easiest year. Of course now I just laugh at the fact that I was complaining about the amount and the difficulty of work that I had in first year.

i believe if you properly cite the source then it's not wrong, but if you solely do that on your paper, you wont' get a very high mark.
